In UN Hugo Chavez calls George Bush "A Devil" Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías born July 28, 1954) is the current President of Venezuela. As the leader of the "Bolivarian Revolution", Chávez promotes his vision of democratic socialism,[ Latin American integration, and anti-imperialism. He is also an ardent critic of neoliberal globalization and U.S. foreign policy.
A career military officer, Chávez founded the left-wing Fifth Republic Movement after orchestrating a failed 1992 coup d'état against former President Carlos Andrés Pérez. Chávez was elected President in 1998 on promises of aiding Venezuela's poor majority, and was reelected in 2000 and in 2006. Domestically, Chávez has launched Bolivarian Missions, whose goals are to combat disease, illiteracy, malnutrition, poverty, and other social ills. Abroad, Chávez has acted against the Washington Consensus by supporting alternative models of economic development, and has advocated cooperation among the world's poor nations, especially those in Latin America.
Chávez's reforms have evoked exceptional controversy in Venezuela and abroad, receiving both vehement criticism and adulation. Venezuelans are split between those who argue he has empowered the poor and stimulated economic growth, and those who allege he is autocratic and has mismanaged the economy. Some foreign governments, including the government of the United States, view Chávez as a threat to global oil prices and regional stability. Others sympathize with his ideology or welcome his bilateral trade and reciprocal aid agreements.
Speech to the United Nations
On 20 September 2006, Chávez delivered a speech to the United Nations General Assembly damning U.S. President George Bush. In the speech Chávez referred to Bush as "the devil", adding that Bush, who had given a speech to the assembly a day earlier, had come to the General Assembly to "share his nostrums to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world." Although it was widely condemned by U.S. politicians and media, the speech was received with "wild applause" in the Assembly.
